“As a co-founder of Dojo Tollkit, its most prolific contributor, and the president of the Dojo Foundation Alex serves as a formal and informal leader for the project. He is one of rare people who has the vision, and the knowledge to do his job. Alex is highly respected in the JavaScript and Web 2.0 community. Being a superb technical expert he is a sounding board for our ideas, and a final arbiter in technical disputes. We always know that if he has an opinion, it is backed up by his solid reasoning. It comes as no surprise that majority of Dojo code was either written by him directly or influenced by him. But I know the other non-technical side of Alex: the organizer and the leader who can pull together even an informal team, and inspire people to do major projects without pulling the rank --- purely on his own merits and respect. If I am to do any kind of major project I wish that Alex was "in" --- in this case I know that the success is guaranteed.”
